- Summary:
- This text explores the phenomenon of dogwhistles, whereby language is used to send one message to an out-group while at the same time sending a second-often taboo, controversial, or inflammatory-message to an in-group. The authors use a game-theoretical approach to social meaning to identify and model two kinds of dogwhistle meaning.
